I agree that a 3rd is too high but I wonder if the bidding could be fierce enough to up the price given his durability level and the likelihood of going to 18-game seasons.
I haven't watched that much 2007 BYU footage lately but I'm curious about what weight Unga was playing back then when he gained 1227 yards and 13 TDs on 244 carries (5.0 ypc) and he also caught 44 passes for 655 yards and 4 TDs. That's 1900 all purpose yards and 17 TDs for a college player on a 13 game schedule. Absolutely phenomenal. He caught 42 balls and had 15 total TDs in 2008 as well, but his total yardage was down to 1440. What changed? Had he started gaining weight? Would he look more dynamic at a lower weight again? Something to ponder.
I work With Harvey's dad and live here in Provo where BYU plays and have watched him for the last three years. I can tell you that in 2007 he played in the mid 220's and he had a lot more burst and speed. This last season I would always tell his dad that Harvey was getting soft because you couldn't see the muscle definition in his arms. He had a bad ankle injury that he played through in 2008 and then a bad shoulder, wrist, and hand in 2009 but he always played through them, I'm not sure but I think he only missed one game in three years. His dad wouldn't say it but I think he gained the weight due to injuries and to become more durable.
